Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Suddenly Made a Comeback! novel Chapter 13

Chapter 13: Chapter 13 Killing the Chicken to Scare the Monkey

Sensing that something was off with Jiang Yan, Jiang Yan dismissed the thought of leaving, pivoted on his dress shoes, and returned to his seat.

"What on earth do you mean?"

Ignoring him once again, Jiang Li shifted her gaze to Lin Manru.

"Mother, Qin Xiaoxiao has already confessed at the police station. It was she who drugged Jiang Yan's drink, attempting to seduce him into having a relationship with her."

"Though she didn't succeed, she could at least be charged with assault with intent to cause harm."

"What?!"

At this revelation, all three of them stood up, simultaneously shocked.

Lin Manru was slow to react, "What? You're saying Qin Xiaoxiao is at the police station? When did this happen?"

Qin XiuZhi completely panicked, "What? Xiaoxiao is at the police station? How could this happen?"

What enraged Jiang Yan even more was the accusation, "What? What did you say? I was drugged? I was actually drugged?"

He, the Eldest Young Master Jiang, nearly lost his chastity to a servant's daughter?

Even the police knew about it now!

Would he have any face left if this got out?!

Only Jiang Li remained calm, seated, even leisurely pouring herself a glass of warm water.

Jiang Yan couldn't stand it and snatched the glass from her. "Hey, this concerns your own brother's life, how can you still be so calm and keep drinking water? What exactly happened?"

"Yes, Lili." Lin Manru looked unhappily at the pale-faced Qin XiuZhi before asking gently, "What's going on, really?"

Jiang Li remained calm and composed.

"I've already made myself quite clear, haven't I? There's a cause and an effect. As for the process—" She looked deeply at Jiang Yan, "Are you sure you want me to say it?"

Jiang Yan: "..."

"Better not to say it, then."

Regaining her composure, Lin Manru finally pieced it together.

So, this mother and daughter were purely scheming against the Jiang Family, trying to ascend the social ladder using this incident!

"I'll make things clear today." Lin Manru sat back down, emulating Jiang Li's calmness, "Qin XiuZhi, I don't fancy the Qiao Family daughter, so don't expect me to fancy yours."

Qin XiuZhi never expected her painstakingly developed plan to crumble in an instant.

She had everything planned so well.

To take advantage of the rift between the Qiao and Jiang Families, hoping to stir up trouble and profit from both sides.

Even if her daughter couldn't become the Young Madam of the Jiang Family, having this leverage would ensure a worry-free life in the future.

But now, it was all ruined.

Out of options, Qin XiuZhi decided to go for broke, "Madam, even if you look down on us, what can you do? Things have already taken shape. If the Eldest Young Master refuses to take responsibility, I'll tear off this old face and make a scandal, and the Jiang Family's reputation will be the one at stake!"

"You!"

Lin Manru hadn't expected the Qin XiuZhi she thought was the most honest and straightforward to be such a scheming and sly person.

But as the saying goes, the barefoot are not afraid of those with shoes on. What if she really became desperate and lashed out, wouldn't her son and the Jiang Family be ruined?

However, Jiang Li spoke up:

"Who said things are set in stone?"

"When I got there, they were just embracing, nothing had happened, and I immediately had Xiang Hao take the police to collect evidence. Forget about setting sail, not even a plank had been laid."

"Mrs. Qin, the reason I didn't expose this in front of so many people was to give you a chance to come forward willingly."

"But you couldn't even pour a glass of water without reluctance, not to mention your petty tricks. Tell me, can I let you off the hook?"

With this unexpected turn of events, Lin Manru immediately looked to Jiang Yan for confirmation.

Though Jiang Yan was reluctant to recall the event, he still had to speak up.

"Heh, if a hug and a kiss mean I have to take responsibility for her, then there are too many people I'd have to answer to."

Qin XiuZhi lost all hope and collapsed onto the ground, pale as a ghost.
